Linda Costello Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Alavon Direct Cremation Service - South Daytona on Feb. 6, 2026.
Linda McLaughlin-Costello, age 77, passed away on January 25, 2026.

She lived a long life shaped by strength, independence, and perseverance. Known for her spirited nature and unmistakable determination, she faced life on her own terms. Her life was not without difficulty, but she met every challenge with quiet endurance and inner strength.

She shared a deep and enduring bond with her husband, James Costello. They were each other's world, and their life together was built on loyalty, partnership, and a love that remained constant throughout the years. She missed him deeply after his passing and now rests beside him once more.

She leaves behind a family shaped by her life experiences and the example she set. Her life leaves a lasting imprint on her family and those who crossed her path.

She was preceded in death by her husband, James Costello, and her brothers, Dave, Bill, and Jack. She is survived by her brother, Tom; her children: Debra Nicastro; Melissa England and her husband, Kurt England; and her son, Brian Nicastro; her step-son, Vincent Costello; her grandchildren, Kayla, Justin, Brandon, Zackary, and Aidan; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family.

Services will be held on February 9, 2026, at Cape Canaveral National Cemetery, 5525 US-1, Mims, Florida 32754 at 12:30 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, the family invites you to leave a remembrance, written tribute, funny story, or a kind thought.
